This article was previously published under Q121348 SYMPTOMS
When you try to run Windows in standard mode or when you run Windows or
Windows for Workgroups Setup, you receive one of the following messages:
Cardware requires 386 enhanced mode.
Setup error Cardware requires 386 enhanced mode.
CAUSE
Cardware is a memory-resident device driver that requires a protected-mode
interface. When Windows initializes real mode during Setup, Cardware
interrupts with an error message and discontinues Setup.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the uninstall utility located on the
Cardware installation disks. Run the uninstall utility once, run Windows
Setup, then reinstall Cardware. (This is the preferred method.) As an
alternative, you can edit the CONFIG.SYS file to remove the reference to
Cardware and then restart your system. Windows Setup will then run without
generating the aforementioned errors. After you install Windows, you must
reinstall the Cardware utility to update the appropriate files.
